TLDR
Robust cognitive deficits are present and familial in schizophrenia and psychotic bipolar disorder and Severity of cognitive impairments across psychotic disorders was consistent with a continuum model, in which more prominent affective features and less enduring psychosis were associated with less cognitive impairment.Abstract:
ObjectiveFamilial neuropsychological deficits are well established in schizophrenia but remain less well characterized in other psychotic disorders. This study from the Bipolar-Schizophrenia Network on Intermediate Phenotypes (B-SNIP) consortium 1) compares cognitive impairment in schizophrenia and bipolar disorder with psychosis, 2) tests a continuum model of cognitive dysfunction in psychotic disorders, 3) reports familiality of cognitive impairments across psychotic disorders, and 4) evaluates cognitive impairment among nonpsychotic relatives with and without cluster A personality traits.MethodParticipants included probands with schizophrenia (N=293), psychotic bipolar disorder (N=227), schizoaffective disorder (manic, N=110; depressed, N=55), their first-degree relatives (N=316, N=259, N=133, and N=64, respectively), and healthy comparison subjects (N=295). All participants completed the Brief Assessment of Cognition in Schizophrenia (BACS) neuropsychological battery.ResultsCognitive impairments among...read more

TL;DR: Addition of fluvoxamine to antipsychotics improves verbal memory and it is postulated that the mechanism involves enhanced GABA-A receptor/BDNF-dependent synaptic plasticity in the hippocampus.

Approaching human neuroscience for disease understanding.
TL;DR: The RDoC system is a system for generating and categorizing brain facts as they relate to putative cross-cutting basic behavioral states or functions of brain, leaving to experimental observation the identification of those perturbed in brain pathology.
The impact of environmental factors in severe psychiatric
TL;DR: Meta-analyses of structural MRI studies revealing hippocampal volume deficits in first-episode patients and in the longitudinal disease course confirm the neurodevelopmental hypothesis, which proposes schizophrenia to be related to genetic and environmental factors leading to abnormal brain development during the pre- or postnatal period.

TL;DR: Each biomarker modality was related to NS in distinct and complex ways, giving NS a rich, interconnected fingerprint and suggesting that any one biomarkermodality may not adequately capture the full spectrum of symptomology.

The Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS) for Schizophrenia
TL;DR: Review of five studies involving the PANSS provided evidence of its criterion-related validity with antecedent, genealogical, and concurrent measures, its predictive validity, its drug sensitivity, and its utility for both typological and dimensional assessment.

A new depression scale designed to be sensitive to change.

TL;DR: The construction of a depression rating scale designed to be particularly sensitive to treatment effects is described, and its capacity to differentiate between responders and non-responders to antidepressant treatment was better than the HRS, indicating greater sensitivity to change.

A rating scale for mania: reliability, validity and sensitivity.
TL;DR: The MRS score correlated highly with an independent global rating, and with scores of two other mania rating scales administered concurrently, and also correlated with the number of days of subsequent stay in hospital.

A sharper Bonferroni procedure for multiple tests of significance
TL;DR: In this article, a simple procedure for multiple tests of significance based on individual p-values is derived, which is sharper than Holm's (1979) sequentially rejective procedure.

TL;DR: It is shown how variance-component linkage methods can be used in pedigrees of arbitrary size and complexity, and a general framework for multipoint identity-by-descent (IBD) probability calculations is developed.
